Executive summary

  • Statutory net profit after tax for 1HFY26 was AUD 15.8 million, rebounding from a significant loss in 2HFY25 but lower than prior periods due to reduced settlements and DMF revenue following the VCAT decision.

  • Operating cash flow was AUD 41.2 million, supported by inventory reduction and land sales.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
